A thousand official starts across the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions is definitely deserving of a first-tee cake.
On Friday, which happened to be his wife Brenda’s birthday, Mark Calcavecchia became the 23rd golfer to do so when he teed off at this week’s ClubCorp Classic near Dallas. PGA Tour Champions President Miller Brady did the honors of presenting the cake to Calcavecchia, who 40 years ago made his Tour debut.
“Does that mean I get to tee off up there?” Calcavecchia wondered aloud. “I get to play the Super Seniors tees.”
